No, my company is self-insured. It collects the premiums, and hires a staff of people to process the claims. They have costs, but they make no “profit”. The premiums pay the cost of claims and the cost to have employees processing the claims, but there are no investors or company that makes a profit.

As to the “free” mammographies - yes, I agree, having a medical procedure with the cost absorbed elsewhere is very nice and can save in the long run if it detects things early on, when it’s less expensive to treat. I was just pointing out that they aren’t “free”. Somebody pays something for those “free” diagnostic procedures.

Ain’t nuthin free of course, but the consumer gets the savings which is a good thing.

Mr. Moon was just explaining your healthcare to me. You don’t have investors. Makes sense.

Why would people object to a government plan run the same way? Especially if it already exists?
